Within the last few months, Ohio has seen a steep increase in Heroin-related deaths. The newest staggering statistics as of August 24th are an estimated 23 Ohioans die from fatal heroin-related overdoses. This epidemic is happening all over the country and the people of Ohio have found themselves the center of the heroin epidemic. Ohio has been the center of research and development for middle America and a testing ground for many new products, including the newly purer form of heroin, coming in from Mexico.

Recent testing on the purity of the heroin in Ohio has discovered shocking ingredients mixed in with the heroin. Elephant tranquilizers and Fentanyl are being used to cut and increase the purity of the heroin in Ohio. The crude mixing methods used by the drug dealers consist of a cheaply made blender to mix the heroin and cutting agents. This is one of the main reasons for the rising death toll heroin has left in its wake. Heroin and the cutting agents are not being well mixed and this makes for a product that is uncontrollable in dosages and purity levels.

The Ohio justice department is taking a different approach to try to get a handle on the heroin epidemic in the state. Ohio has been implementing a new forgiveness through abstention. Once someone has been convicted of a drug-related offense, they are given an option to seek treatment and submit to drug testing for a period of no less than a year. Once the offender has passed their drug testing period, their records are wiped clean of the drug charges. This forgiveness and abstinence program is one of a few in the country that is actually working to include education and treatment instead of incarceration.

Heroin rehab programs in Ohio that are participating in this program, are getting to an overflowing capacity and the need for more state funded drug rehab centers is necessary to handle the influx of new clients from the criminal justice system.

Our counselors have been fully trained and certified to help you locate the best heroin addiction rehab in the state of Ohio. Choosing to enter into an inpatient treatment program for heroin addiction can be the best choice for someone.1-800-819-9973

Inpatient heroin addiction treatment vs outpatient heroin programs.

Heroin abuse is a serious problem and once the addiction takes a hold of a person, it can take a medical detox to help with the painful withdrawal that can be associated with a heroin addiction. Getting someone who is addicted to heroin into a program for a minimum of 45-90 days can have a profound difference between success and failure.

Inpatient treatment for heroin addiction is by far the best option for someone who has tried to stop heroin and failed in an outpatient or self-help program previously. For those who are in early development in their heroin addiction, some outpatient programs may work for those that put in the time and effort to stay away from their old habits and friends while going through the programs.

Treating heroin addiction in Ohio will involve many steps to make the recovery process effective. For most people, there will be a need for a medical detox to alleviate the symptoms of Heroin withdrawal.

Heroin addiction can sometimes include other drugs so it is very important to make sure that you disclose all of the drugs you are currently using and have taken in the past 6 months. This will help the detox center for heroin addiction, better diagnose and prescribe the best medications to make your detox go smoothly and as pain-free as possible. Do not try to detox on your own. Heroin withdrawal can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the length of heroin use and the amount of heroin being abused on a daily basis.

Detox should be followed by an extensive stay at a Heroin Inpatient treatment program. Private Inpatient drug rehabs offer the best results for long-lasting sobriety from a Heroin addiction.

Most of the people who have fought with heroin addiction have one thing in common: They recovered from their addiction at an inpatient heroin rehab center. Some people can find sobriety in an outpatient treatment program but due to the temptations and availability to go find heroin, this type of program is less effective in treating the addiction as a whole. The typical stay for someone recovering from a heroin addiction can vary from center to center and usually consists of 30-90 day programs.

Heroin addiction medications and uses

Sometimes a medical intervention can be used to help wean a person off of heroin at a slower rate, alleviating the withdrawal symptoms normally associated with a heroin Detox in Ohio.

Buprenorphine: Being an opioid, Buprenorphine accesses the same receptors in the brain that heroin interacts with. This allows for a seemingly painless transition while managing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Methadone: Over the last few decades, this drug has become a bit controversial due to the fact that the body can build up a tolerance quickly if taken to often and is under investigation for being potentially addictive. Methadone is considerably stronger than Buprenorphine but works in the same manner, offering alleviated symptoms from withdrawal.

Naltrexone: Designed to block opioid receptors, blocking the effects that would normally take place once Heroin or an opioid is entered into the system. Also used in treating alcoholism.

Suboxone: Specifically designed to work in combination with Buprenorphine and Naltrexone. This combination of drugs not only manages the addiction, it also alleviates the temptation to use heroin due to the opioid-blocking drug Naltrexone.

Mexican drug trafficking cartels, which dominate the country’s illegal drug market, are increasingly transitioning to heroin, replanting marijuana fields in Mexico with opium to produce more potent, powder form of heroin to meet the growing demands in the United States. Heroin is a fast-moving drug and it is growing in popularity among the younger drug experimenters. Having a more pure form of heroin appeals to those who are abusing Pharmaceutical opioid pain relievers, giving them a cheaper option to stay off the painful withdrawal symptoms and a much lower cost.

With the introduction of a much purer form of synthetic Fentanyl hitting the streets and being used for a cut in the heroin has contributed greatly to the rise in overdose rates in Ohio.

Not all heroin rehabs are the same. Some that will offer medical detox options while others will have a person tough out their withdrawal. We have found that a 90-day heroin rehab can offer the best results for long-lasting sobriety. Finding the treatment that not only heals the body but also heals the mind, will be the difference between success and failure.

Heroin addicts sometimes find that once they go through the detox process, start thinking that they do not want to go through with treatment or want to have one more romance with the drug before entering rehab for their addiction to Heroin. We strongly urge people to find a treatment program that is at least a long drive away to make the person have a chance to think about leaving a program before they make a seriously bad decision to leave before the heroin rehab is completed.
